public house license

Public House License or Pub License is a license granted to a public house or pub, this is now known as a premises license under the 2003 licensing Act for England and Wales. If your looking to run a public house then you will not need a public house license but a personal license to alcohol by retail.

Normally a public house license will be held in the name of the Pub Company that owns the public house.
For example; if you where looking to take over a lease or a tenancy on a pub owned by Punch Taverns or Greene king then the public house license or premises license would belong to the Pub Company. To take over as the licensee or manager the Pub Company would expect you to hold a personal license which will allow you to sell alcohol by retail from the public house in question.

An individual can be granted a personal alcohol license this will allow them to become Licensee of a Pub (public house). A personal license will also allow the holder to authorise other members of staff that do not hold a personal license to sell alcohol.

An individual must also be named on a public house license or premises license as the DPS or Designated Premises Supervisor. This means this person then act as the licensee on the public house license and is responsible for the day to day control of the public house.

To become a personal license holder the cost for the full personal license is around £295.00. However this can achieved for less money if you are willing to do the whole of the application process yourself.
